Britney Spears @ Your Library
Copyright 2002 American Library Association
Photography by Kimberly Butler
Design by Distillery Design Studio
You
are bidding on an official American Library Association (ALA Publishing) poster from their Celebrity READ
campaign. Created by the ALA in 1985, each READ poster features a
famous person posing with their favorite book (or books). All
celebrities are chosen because of his/her popularity, appeal and
visibility to a general audience. The ALA tries to feature a range of
diverse talent who would be great spokespersons for reading to both
adults and children. If you've ever visited your local library (which
you hopefully have), you've probably seen a poster like this with an
actor, musician or other star persona spotlighted.
This particular poster features Britney Spears holding a copy of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone by J.K. Rowling. Support your local library!
A
great back-to-school gift, for your child's room or college dorm...or,
celebrate the kids leaving the nest by turning their old room into your
new study/library, and hang this fantastic poster there!
CONDITION:
I
would consider this poster excellent, suitable for framing. However,
because of its age it cannot be considered
"mint." Very,
very minimal wrinkling or other signs of aging. There is a rubber band
stain, but it is on the back, so it shouldn't be a bother. No evidence
of tape
removal or tack holes from being displayed, and the corners are all
still sharp.
[SEE PICS]
MEASUREMENTS:
approx. 34 inches tall by 22 inches wide
(34" x 22")

This particular poster features Sting from The Police dressed in period costume, reading Mary Shelley's Frankenstein
in front of a castle. This was part of the first series in ALA's
Celebrity READ posters, released in 1985 (the 1st set included Bette
Midler, Bill Cosby, Mikhail Baryshnikov and Sting). The Sting poster
is considered an extremely rare and highly sought-after collectible.

David Bowie for America's Libraries

Keep your electric eye on this, babe! You
are bidding on an official American Library Association (ALA Publishing) poster from their Celebrity READ
campaign. Created by the ALA in 1985, each READ poster features a
famous person posing with their favorite book (or books). All
celebrities are chosen because of his/her popularity, appeal and
visibility to a general audience. The ALA tries to feature a range of
diverse talent who would be great spokespersons for reading to both
adults and children. If you've ever visited your local library (which
you hopefully have), you've probably seen a poster like this with an
actor, musician or other star persona spotlighted.
This particular poster features David Bowie in a "Roots" letterman jacket, reading The Idiot by Fyodor Dostoyevsky (The Idiot was also the title of Iggy Pop's
first solo album, which was written and recorded with Bowie). David's
poster was part of the third series of ALA's Celebrity READ posters,
released in 1987 (the 3rd set included Diahann Carrol and Paul Newman, along with The Thin White Duke).
This poster was re-issued by the ALA in 2016, due to popular demand after Bowie's passing, but THIS IS AN ORIGINAL FROM '87!
A
great back-to-school gift, for your child's room or college dorm...or,
celebrate the kids leaving the nest by turning their old room into your
new study/library, and hang this fantastic poster there!
CONDITION:
I
would consider this poster in great shape, suitable for framing even.
However, because of its age and because it was once displayed at a
library, it cannot be considered "mint." There are some faded signs of
tape removal from hanging (at the corners, and between the letters "R"
and "E" in the word READ near the top, as well as at the bottom edge
below the heel of Bowie's foot), but the poster itself does not seem to
have faded much or at all. Very, very minimal wrinkling or other aging,
and the corners are still sharp.
